If I push my front tire top - bottom in opposite directions - grab top with one hand
and botoom with another - - when suspended on jackstands - there is a small play.
The opposite wheel does not have any play. It feels like somewhere in the hub area.
Anlikely lower balljoint - it is solid and boot is intact. Is it acceptable? No effect on driving as I can tell.


Thanks!

Most likely your bearing is bad, and possibly the hub too. This happened to me shortly after I replaced an axle on the driver's side.

And you will definitely want to fix the problem and not just drive on it. It will only get worse.
